Info In England, this butterfly is known as 'His Majesty'. He is elusive and the most 'wanted' British butterfly. He spends most of his time in the woodland canopy, coming down to feed on animal droppings, carrion or moist ground. Hence these typical 'on-the-ground' images. When he does appear, he is distainful of his subjects. One FP of a group in Ukraine feeding on a dead frog. Both images are focus-stacked.

Oppose Sorry, what makes a beautiful picture is not visible in either of both images. Poor light, boring background, trivial composition. Subject in focus maybe, so QI and perhaps VI, but no FP in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:05, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
Comment Regarding the upperside view: There are abrupt transitions from sharp to unsharp in the background along the top left border of the left wing and at the bottom border of both wings. I would be fine with an unsharp background, but these abrupt transitions are irritating. And in general some parts of the background are sharper than the wings of the butterfly. Has the focus-stacking software made errors? --Aristeas (talk) 08:30, 26 July 2021 (UTC)- Oppose Try at one nomination, is not same butterfly. Right image has too similar colors background/subject. And as Aristeas see, mistakes at merging files. --Mile (talk) 08:53, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- Why do you say it is not the same butterfly Mile? Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:48, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- O so its same, good. But right photo is still out of FP for me. Contrast and colors in left are much better.--Mile (talk) 11:32, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Yes, there are transitions - the focus-bracketing interval must have been too great. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:53, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
